[geeks] Bicycling Laptop Packs?

[Rick Hamell]

I've taken the drastic step of making the Bicycle my main mode of 
transportation. So far it's worked out pretty darn good what with it 
being summer and all.

Unluckily, living in Oregon we tend to have a little of rain towards the 
end of this month until roughly next June. (Although the two camping 
trips I've been on this summer have been rained out, but that's another 
story.)

I have an older Targus Sport backpack (has external room for CD/player, 
gym shoes/water bottles,) but it does not breath on the back very well 
and leaves me rather sweaty. I'm also concerned about it's long term 
water repelling abilities over the long term.

Currently I'm carrying at least one and very occasionally two Macbooks 
in it. But I'd like something that is "future" proof if I decide to go 
for a 17" Macbook.

Has anyone got some pointers towards something that is waterproof, 
spacers (or internal frame) of some sort on the back, and has room to 
store at least one laptop and a change of clothes?

Thanks
